Posted in The career of former first overall pick Alex Smith of the 49′ers is already in doubt, but it may be even more today as there is a report that he has a fracture in his shoulder. The Sacramento Bee is reporting it’s a fracture of the coracoid process, which is a bone in the shoulder. [...]

Previewing the Cardinals-49′ers Matchup
If there has been a serious thorn in the side of the Cardinals as they try to take the step to the next level – it’s been the San Francisco 49′ers. Last season the Niners won just five games, but two of them came vs the Cards, and those two losses kept the Cards from [...]
Wednesday Niners News and Notes
Alex Smith still believes he’s in the running for the starting quarterback job, and why shouldn’t he? Mike Nolan hasn’t exactly handled this matter with much detail, so if he’s going to keep being as obtuse as possible, each quarterback better believe he can be the starter. Of course, if J.T. O’Sullivan starts tomorrow against [...]
O’Sullivan Appears Ready to be the Opening Day Starter
It appears that the QB job in San Francisco is all but decided, as the 49′ers are going to pull a stunner and give the job to former Lions QB J.T. O’Sullivan.

Now, though, it seems Nolan could be coming to a [...]
49′ers Wednesday News and Notes
Dan Arkush of Pro Football Weekly wrote that the 49ers couldn’t have had a worse start than they did in their 18-6 loss to the Raiders last week. Well, actually they could have. At least one of their quarterbacks could have suffered a season-ending injury. Justin Smith or another important defensive player who could torn [...]
Nolan Stays Quiet on QB Starter for Preseason Game Two
Who will start for the Niners at QB in preseason game two remains a mystery, but the fact remains that Shaun Hill continues to get less and less work in practice. Tuesday he was again a bystander during drills taken by J.T. O’Sullivan and Alex Smith. Coach Mike Nolan remains steadfast in saying it’s a [...]
Hill Appears to be the Odd Man Out in Niners QB Race
It seems more and more like 49′ers head coach Mike Nolan and new offensive coordinator Mike Martz are falling out of love with QB Shaun Hill. The QB race in San Fran has been well documented for some time as one that would come down to former first overall pick Alex Smith and Hill, who [...]
